I love it! It sure is a perfect example of camouflage. Great focus and like the way you captured the subtle clues that it's actually a butterfly!

Wow, you got me! LOL I thought it was a leaf shaped like lips and nicely shaped ones at that. Great capture and a wonderful entry for the contest. Excellent exposure with great initial impact. Interesting artists notes as well. Good luck! ~Alveria

Oh my goodness! What a great selection for the contest! I thought it was a bug carrying a leaf - at first. What a wonder of nature!

Great focus and composition. Good luck!

Wow! Very cool, great shot. Looks like a dead leaf set up on it's side. Had to zoom in to see that it wasn't. Beautiful lighting. Thanks for sharing.

Very imaginative concept that opens the mind of the viewer. Very nice soft contrast of colors. The detail in the leaf is enchanting.

Excellent capture of this very unusual butterfly. You must have good eye to see this in the woods. Great colours, and good clarity and details.
